two years, followed by a growth rate of 4%/year for three years; after this five year period, the growth in dividends is expected to be 3%/year, indefinitely. The required rate of return on Music Doctors, Inc. is 11%. Last year's dividends per share were $2.75. What should the stock sell for today?
A) $8.99 B) $25.21 C) $43.76 D) $110.00 E) none of the above
Answer: C Difficulty: Difficult
Rationale:
Calculations are shown below Yr. Dividend PV of Dividend @ 11% 1 $2.75(1.08) = $2.97/(1.11) = $2.6757
2
2 $2.75(1.08) = $3.21/(1.11)2 = $2.6034 3 $2.75(1.08)2(1.04) = $3.34/(1.11)3 = $2.4392 4 $2.75(1.08)2(1.04)2 = $3.47/(1.11)4 = $2.2854 5 $2.75(1.08)2(1.04)3 = $3.61/(1.11)5 = $2.1412 Sum $12.1449
P5 = 3.7164 / (.11 - .03) = $46.4544; PV of P5 = $46.4544/(1.08)5 = $31.6161; PO = $12.1449 + $31.63 = $43.76

85. The growth in dividends of ABC, Inc. is expected to be 15%/year for the next three
years, followed by a growth rate of 8%/year for two years; after this five year period, the growth in dividends is expected to be 3%/year, indefinitely. The required rate of return on ABC, Inc. is 13%. Last year's dividends per share were $1.85. What should the stock sell for today?
A) $8.99 B) $25.21 C) $40.00 D) $27.74 E) none of the above
Answer: D Difficulty: Difficult
Rationale:
Calculations are shown below Yr. Dividend PV of Dividend @ 13% 1 $1.85 (1.15) = $2.13/(1.13) = $1.88
2
2 $1.85 (1.15) = $2.45/(1.13)2 = $1.92 3 $1.85 (1.15)3 = $2.81/(1.13)3 = $1.95 4 $1.85 (1.15)3(1.08) = $3.04/(1.13)4 = $1.86 5 $1.85 (1.15)3(1.08)2 = $3.28/(1.13)5 = $1.78 Sum $9.39
P5 = 3.28 (1.03) / (.13 - .03) = $33.80; PV of P5 = $33.80/(1.13)5 = $18.35; PO = $18.35 + $9.39 = $27.74.

86. The growth in dividends of XYZ, Inc. is expected to be 10%/year for the next two years,
followed by a growth rate of 5%/year for three years; after this five year period, the growth in dividends is expected to be 2%/year, indefinitely. The required rate of return on XYZ, Inc. is 12%. Last year's dividends per share were $2.00. What should the stock sell for today?
A) $8.99 B) $25.21 C) $40.00 D) $110.00 E) none of the above
Answer: B Difficulty: Difficult
Rationale:
Calculations are shown below Yr. Dividend PV of Dividend @ 12% 1 $2.00(1.10) = $2.22/(1.12) = $1.96
2
2 $2.00(1.10) = $2.42/(1.12)2 = $1.9 3 $2.00(1.10)2(1.05) = $2.54/(1.12)3 = $1.81 4 $2.00(1.10)2(1.05)2 = $2.67/(1.12)4 = $1.70 5 $2.00(1.10)2(1.05)3 = $2.80/(1.12)5 = $1.59 Sum $8.99
P5 = 2.80 (1.02) / (.12 - .02) = $28.56; PV of P5 = $28.56/(1.12)5 = $16.21; PO = $16.20 + $8.99 = $25.21.
87. If a firm's required rate of return equals the firm's return on equity, there is no advantage
to increasing the firm's growth. Suppose a no-growth firm had a required rate of return and a ROE of 12% and a stock price of $40. However, if the firm is able to increase the ROE to 15% with a plowback ratio of 50%, what is the present value of growth opportunities now? (Last year's dividends were $2.00/share).
A) $9.78 B) $7.78 C) $10.78 D) $12.78 E) none of the above
Answer: B Difficulty: Difficult
Rationale: g = 0.50 x 15% = 7.5%; P0 = 2 (1.075) / (.12 - .075) = $47.78; $47.78 -
$40.00 = $7.78.
